"The stock market continues to split into two main cliques like my Grade 7 schoolyard at Alta Vista Public School in Ottawa. The cool kids (AAPL, NVDA, MSFT, MCD, MNST, etc.) are over in one area playing frisbee and baseball, eating cool ranch Doritos and Gobstoppers and Big League Chew, while the nerds (PACW, KRE, FHN…) are over by the portables talking about perpendicular bisectors and eating ants on a log out of Tupperware containers Mom packed in their TMNT lunchboxes."
This is when you know that you are passionate about markets. Thanks!
Haha, I'm old enough to remember the original nerds! I know something about oil bulls and gold bulls and I'm still not a cartoon, I think, I hope! Thank you!
Great writeup! Of note, I work in healthcare and each COVID wave is disabling more and more of our workforce. Each hit is like a concussion--often you recover, but it still adds up. Hence a big reason why the old models are broken. It'd be good to look at the labor participation rate (probably lower) in addition to the jobs openings.

Alright those stereotype descriptions cracked me up. Good one!
Funny & so true descriptions on the stereotypes!
Love your posts Brent, So educational in a very light and enjoyable way
I’m actually kind of a cross between the two cartoon personalities if I’m being perfectly honest.
as Ben Hunt would say .. we are all cartoons now

"...don't become a cartoon..." :))
Endless love from me as usual...!

What nonsense
The oil bull cartoon I believe describes Kuppy almost perfectly, legend!
Great one here!
